Apparatus (2015) is a hybrid graphics editor and programming environment for creating interactive diagrams.

Toby started working on this in mid-2014. The following are subprojects that came up during the making and exercising of Apparatus.

Relativity time-dilation (2014) is an interactive diagram that motivated Apparatus.

Apparatus recursive drawing (2015) shows integration by drawing objects inside themselves.

Apparatus prototypal inheritance (2015) are notes while working out how inheritance should work.

Apparatus tides diagram (2015) is an early diagram in Apparatus under development.

Apparatus microjam (2015) was a group play-test session.

Apparatus biking (2015) uses Apparatus to answer a trick question.

Apparatus simulation (2015) is an experimental feature for stateful diagrams.

Apparatus embedding (2016) puts interactive diagrams on web pages.

Toby and others later created a commercial design tool based on Apparatus: Cuttle
